I wonder if it is possible to connect this tv to a cable or HDMI AV type. The purpose is to connect directly to a satellite television decoder.

I bought one, and in looking at it just now, I can find no connections of any kind. I just use the charger, though... I am extremely non-tecchie. But I don't think you can.

What kind of converter box? As far as I know, there is no way to connect this TV to a regular antenna.

I presume it can be used directly to a TV which has an HDMI input. However, doing it this way w/o connection to a home theater systems would waste it's high end capability since it will be connected to the TV's speaker.

I don't see why not, there are many "hook ups" on this TV, i even hooked up my VCR player. Really awesome TV

The HDMI port is for HDMI out only. Thus it would not do what you are asking. You need a device that will convert HDMI to a signal that your TV can understand.

My house is wired in coax and i broke the coax connection on the back of one of my TV's. But it also has a hdmi connection as well and have been trying to convert from coax to hdmi . I have been told there currently is no solution.

I do not think so , because Direct TV receiver boxes have the cable line coming to the receiver and then a HDMI cable going to the TV, this TV does not have a HDMI port to plug into from direct TV receivers. Unless you have a cable line going from your receiver box to the back of your TV then it might work.

If your cable box only has a COAX cable connection to the TV then you can't connect it to the Sony. Its input for Cable or satellite is HDMI only.

No. you cannot plug your cable directly into this. if you have a cable box with an HDMI output you can plug that into this unit to send to your TV.I believe the two input types are HDMI and VGA.

What kind of cable? A cable tv box should have output connections. I would suggest using HDMI to get the best picture.

This is a TV display monitor, not a TV receiver. It connects to a receiver, cable TV, or satellite receiver video output.

The cable connection honestly doesnt matter you can connect any type of computer to any type of television. Yes you can connect them but it will not possibly give you the high definition sound quality or resoultion that you need. I purchased it to connect my blu ray to my compuyer but I failed :)) so yes Is your answer you can connect it but dont excpect to habe good quality.

Without knowing more about you setup (type of TV, etc.) I cannot answer with certainty. If you have the receiver and the TV connection via HDMI from the receivers HDMI out you might be able to use TV audio return channel. Otherwise connecting the optical cable should work, just make sure you have the correct mode selected on the receiver. I believe it is TV but it could be different. Check the manual.

It depends. If your satellite box outputs to Component video (i.e. five colored plugs), you're pretty much good to go. If it's standard-definition Composite video (three plugs), then you might need to find an adapter for it, as this card doesn't include one. HDMI connections might work as well, but be aware that this card does not comply with High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) standards, so if your receiver box requires HDCP, then you will not get a signal via HDMI cable on this card.

not possible!...only HDTV with HDMI will work although, you still get decent image.

So - if this TV were to be hooked up to cable - or satellite, wouldn't it need to have two inputs? I just received the TV in the mail today but haven't yet attempted to hook my security camera to it. I hope it will work.

u may be able to use the USB port to connect it your TV if your TV has the USB port (i don't).
